"Lame Food Challenge"
Posted by MattyMax on 10-30-07 at 02:30 AM
I'm sorry, but that food challenge was lame.

Cooked Chicken hearts. Come on. That's just chicken. (Ask Shi-Anne!)

Cooked EEL! DELICIOUS!

Thousand Year Old Eggs? I get those in China Town all the time. They're good.

Baby turtles were creative, but if you looked at them, they were pretty small.

The only gag-factor item was the balut.

What about a pint of blood! Rotten Fish! Making your loved ones eat tarantulas!

Blah. oh well. I do like the yellow tribe.

I don't know about the eel, but the chicken hearts were obviously cooked. Eating that would be no different than eating the boiled gizzards you put in homemade chicken or turkey gravy. Not gross at all.

I beg to differ. Gizzards are GROSS, cooked or not.

well, perhaps I should have stated that better. In the gravy it's not gross. However, they were small, they were cooked, and that was the one thing they had in that challenge that I could have gotten down with very few qualms.

I pick 'em out of the gravy.

I grew up eating home-cooked chicken, so we always cooked and ate all of it. One of my favorite pieces was the heart. It kind of tasted like the gizzard, but didn't have the rubbery texture and it was very small. When they broke out the chicken hearts, I was sincerely disappointed that was considered "gross".

Now, the eel I might have had a problem with - especially the head!

The eel looked cooked to me - it looked just like unagi (Japanese for eel) that I get at a sushi restaurant and that's cooked.

About those thousand year old eggs?

I've been meaning to ask. Where do they get them and is there a huge supply somewhere? Is there a stash that is marked 999 years and 998 years, etc so each year another batch becomes the 1000 year old eggs?

And how much does a 1000 year old egg cost?
AND why would you choose to eat one?

I have always thought those exact things.

Do they boil thousands of dozen eggs and date them? UPC code them now? And how in the world would they even consider holding onto them for so long and deciding then they should eat them now? Were they willed to someone?

I guess they stumbled upon an old egg, tried it and liked it, and said, guess what, we're not going to eat these newly collected eggs but save them and tell people they'll be a delicacy in 1000 years, and they'll go right along with that.

Baffles me.

They aren't 1000 years old or even 100 years old when they are called century eggs.

It is just a name.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg

They are a few weeks to a few months old. It is a method for preserving the eggs when you have them for consumption later on that year.

They are only weeks to months old depending on the method used.

And the birthday genius solves the mystery!
thanks Snidge.

Personally? I still don't want to eat one.

All of it had the gag factor for me.

Agreed.
